In this episode you'll find  out what the pitfalls are when you use a headset with poor sound quality on your business calls. If that's what you're using, you're risking more than you think. But the good news is there are some excellent solutions, and in this episode, I'll share two headsets that can make you sound like a Rock God, and slays background noise like Slash himself.

If you're talking with Grandma, it doesn't dip into your income if you're using a headset that sounds bad. But, can you say the same thing if you're using that same headset for your business calls? I'd argue that you have far more risk if you do.

First, when you sound bad, you can sound bad in a number of ways

• You can sound like you're a hundred miles away.
• You might sound like you're talking from a Cave in Crete
• You might be cutting in, and cutting out
• You might have so much static that your callers think they're hearing morse code.

However bad sound quality is defined, the one thing all those differing definitiions have in common is customers don't like it.  They don't like it when they can't hear you. They don't like it when you sound is echoy. They don't like it when they only hear bits of your conversation, and for sure they don't  want to hear all that noise going on around you.

So if you want to get a clear message across to those you're  talking to, you're putting that objective at risk when you use a poor sounding headset. Your callers might formulate a poor opinion of you based on the impression you're giving them by using bad equipment. 

These days nobody can really come up with a  good reason why they don't use a good sounding, high quality headset with a professional sounding microphone. There are many that do a great job, and we even offer a monthly program with headsets that start at just $2.00 per  month. Professional  sounding headsets have never been more affordable  as they are today.

Give your customers a better sounding call experience because they deserve that, and the truth is, so do you. 

Two excellent headsets that will make you sound  great, and give your callers a noise free call are:

1. The Orosound Tilde Pro
2. The Jabra Engage 50 II

We've tested both of  these headsets, and both sound excellent, and they both remove unwanted background noise extremely well.

If you'd like to see our reviews and sound tests, just head over to our Headset Advisor  Youtube channel, and search for Orosound Tilde  Pro, and Jabra Engage 50 II.

In the meantime, if we can answer any questions or assist you in any way, make  sure to reach out to us at Headset Advisor. You can call, email,  text or chat live with us.

In this episode of the Headset Advisor Tech Review Podcast, you'll find out about some of the differences between the popular USB connector types used with many business headsets. These connector types are USB-A, and USB-C. Knowing the differences will help you to better understand which to look for when shopping or researching new headsets.

Anyone who's shopped for new headsets these days understands that there are a lot of things to be aware of. In that shopping process you'll be hit with things that may be unfamiliar. You know, things like:

• DECT vs. Bluetooth
• Wired vs. Wireless headsets
• Wearing styles; monaural, binaural, in the ear, on the ear, behind the neck, or convertible
• Transparency mode
• Active Noise Cancellation. What's that, and how's it different from passive noise cancellation?
• And of course there's the topic of USB-A connection vs. USB-C.  What's the difference?

In this podcast, I'll attempt to shed some light on the last of these listed points. That is, the USB question. In doing so, I won't be getting overly technical, but instead, I'll keep it rather simple. After all, I have that kind of mind, so it suits me.

The first thing is these two connections look different from each other. USB-A is bigger, and it has squared off corners. The USB-C plug is much smaller, and the corners are rounded.

They also insert into the USB  port differently. USB-A insertes one way only. We've all tried plugged one of these  in, only to find it won't go. That's because it needs to be turned over and resinserted. When you use USB-C you can kiss all that goodbye. That's because you can insert it however you like because it can be inserted in either direction. I don't know about you, but I'm taking a liking to the C version.

The other big draw to the USB-C is faster transfer speeds, and more available power to charge things. But you know, much of that depends on the USB version  being used. For example, if you're using USB-A version 3.2, and the same version on USB-C, you have the same transmission speed. But, most of us are likely using a lower version which means slower speed.

USB-C, unlike USB-A, can operate with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 whereas USB-A can't. Many of the newer computers are coming with Thunderbolt, so using USB-C is clearly an advantage in that sense.

The truth is, for the way most of us use USB, that is, transfering and uploading files such as pictures for example, USB-A is still very adequate. In some instances though, it may require a little patience, but at the end of the day, USB-A will get the job  done.

USB-A was introduced in 1996, and C was introduced in 2014. Even with 8 years in the market, C hasn't fully overtaken A, and there are literally millions of USB-A devices still in use around the  world.  Will USB-C eventually cause the full phaseout of USB-A? It's looking that way. But again, that may be awhile.

In this episode of the Headset Advisor Business Tech Review Podcast, you'll find out if you can continue using your Bluetooth wireless headset with your computer, if you lost, or misplaced the USB Adapter/Dongle.

This is a question that we get often, and I felt it was a topic  worth talking about. So make sure to have a listen to find out the differences of using the Adapter over the Bluetooth connection.

This episode is narrated by Doug Merritt, Founder, and CEO of Headset Advisor.

There's no denying that headsets have changed a lot over the years, and one of those changes is business headsets are now being used with computers, and the main connection is done through the use of a USB Adapter/dongle.

These are small devices that are small enough, and portable enough, to make them an easy target for being misplaced or lost. So, if that were to happen to you, would you find yourself asking the question; "should I replace the USB Adapter, or should I just  connect my headset to my computer using Bluetooth?" Before you make a quick decision, you might want to read a little further here, or have a listen to this podcast. That's because there's a little more going on beneath the surface that you should really know about.

Take for example, that when you connect using Bluetooth, you may find a few areas less efficient compared to when you were using that USB Adapter. 

• You'll likely have a connection that's less stable
• Your audio quality may suffer
• Your wireless range will probably be less
• And, if you now use remote call answering, well that just flew out the window.

Most computers these days are Bluetooth enabled, but that doesn't mean they all are. And, if you happen to be  using one that's not, then you can forget making any wireless connection to it. Instead, you may be left in a position  where you can't use it with your computer at all, or, with some models, you might have the option to use  it with a  USB cable. But, when you do that, you're now using a wireless headset as a wired one. Not a huge amount of sense in that I don't think.

USB adapters are typically replaceable, and are priced in the neighborhood of $30.00 or so on the low end, and around $100.00 on the high side. So, depending on your make and model, the chances are good that you'll be paying somewhere around $50.00 or so. So the question you have to ask yourself is, is it worth it?

Well, what's a better connection, better audio quality, longer wireless range, and being able to take calls when you're away from your desk worth? To me, those things are worth every penny of the price. But again, that's a decision you'll have to make.

If you need help finding the right replacement USB Adapter, then make sure to contact us here at Headset Advisor. We have expert headset specialists ready to help sort things out for you.
